Updated Nov 1, 2014 at 10:43 PMBROCKTON – Joaquim Andrade was Brockton High School’s Teacher of the Year twice in the past seven years and was the Cape Verdean Association’s Man of the Year in 2011, according to his lawyer.
But on Friday, in a dramatic fall from grace, the 56-year-old bilingual science educator was arrested and charged with the forcible rape of one of his 14-year-old students, a girl in his English as a Second Language Class.
And the alleged victim may not be alone, prosecutors said during his arraignment.
Andrade has been charged with rape with force, aggravated rape, two counts of indecent assault and battery of a child over 14 and enticement of a child under 16.
He was accused by Plymouth County Assistant District Attorney Amanda Fowle of drawing in the alleged victim with a fake Facebook profile and online chats about soccer before going to her house on Oct. 7, persuading her to get in his car and then sexually abusing her at several locations.
Fowle told District Judge John Canavan that the investigation by Brockton police has yielded at least one other female student who talked to Andrade on Facebook and to whom he also gave a ride.
She said that student alleges Andrade, who lives in Scituate, touched her leg while in his car and that he offered her money for sex, which she refused. No charges have been filed in that case.
Andrade’s attorney, Adamo Lanza, could not be reached on Saturday. But he was insistent in court on Friday that his client would be vindicated.
“He is going to vehemently oppose these charges,” Lanza said at the time.
Andrade was being held on $20,000 cash bail. His status couldn’t be confirmed on Saturday.
The investigation and subsequent arrest has rocked the community, where the 23-year teacher, soccer coach and mentor – a married father of four – has spent much of his time.
“Jack is a great person and I’m somewhat in shock that he could be accused,’’ said Brockton City Councilor-at-Large Moises Rodrigues.
Rodrigues said he has known Andrade since they attended Brockton High School together, he in the Class of 1980, and Andrade a year behind.
Andrade may live in Scituate, “but he spends 90 percent of his time in Brockton,” Rodrigues said.
“Devastated” for his friend, Rodrigues said he’s equally devastated for the alleged victim “who deserves our support.”
Sometimes a teacher who seems too good to be true “is” too good to be true, said Wendy Murphy, a nationally recognized expert on sex crimes and child abuse, and a former prosecutor.
Christ Jesus prayed that all those who would believe in Him would be ONE, just as He and the Father are ONE; that they be brought to complete unity so that the world would know that He was sent by the Father. (John 17:20-23)
Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
